    John Oliver (or alternatively other talkshow hosts like John Steward, Stephen Colbert, or Conan) could be another interesting choice.

    I’d assume he is probably more intelligent than me and has already spent a lot of time presenting problems and thinking about solutions. He’d also have the right energy to get things done.

    That said, I think without changes to the capabilities of the office, I actually don’t think they’d get that much done. Despite what it sometimes may look like, Trump can only do most of the things because others support it. This isn’t a one man show.

    Maduro easily, just taste really. I think everyone could get used to his addresses and get over their issues within time. His responsibilities to Venezuelans are far more important though, so I understand him not wanting to be our Fuhrer.

    Weird all Yankovic.

    He’s been around for ages, doing parodies of everything but hasn’t managed to make a single enemy. He’s smart, he’s caring, he’s never involved in any scandals, and I guarantee he’d only use this power to better everyone.

    Given Trump’s second term kinda proves there are no legal or ethical restrictions to becoming President, assuming that precedent sticks, then I’d like to see anyone who’s not a wannabe dictator come back and oust Trump.

    Shit, Louis Rossmann as President would be kinda awesome.

    Someone who has actually had an American experience. Someone who’s been homeless, who’s worked more than one job just to barely make rent. Someone who’s viewed home ownership as a pipe dream. Someone who’s waited tables. Someone that’s done drugs just for an escape. Someone who’s lost friends and family to those same drugs. Someone who’s had a total stranger express hate for them just for being outside the in-power group.

    No more of these disconnected rich pricks who don’t really know how the average person lives.

      How about Jon Bon Jovi?

      During COVID he spent his days ladling soup in his soup kitchen.

      He knows fame and fortune so that won’t be new to him

      Last year in September he helped someone not jump off a bridge.

      Has been married to the same person since 1989 and they were highschool sweet hearts

      “On December 15, 2010, Bon Jovi was appointed by then U.S. president Barack Obama to the White House Council for Community Solutions.”

      So he knows some things

      https://jbjsoulkitchen.org/

      He now has 3 soup kitchen’s.

      Seems like someone that would do some good even if didn’t exactly meet your qualifications

    Justin Amash, Zohran Mamdani, JB Pritzker, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Greta Thunberg, my brother the historian, Chuy Garcia, Tammy Duckworth, Tom Daschle, Chance the Rapper, Dave from the movie Dave

    I could pick a random person off the street in my neighborhood and they’d be better than the current President. But if I had to pick just one I guess I’d pick Tammy Duckworth, since she’s the most likely to win reëlection.
